“The more careful you are, the less you have. The more careful you are, the less motion you cause. When you are willing, you cause motion.”
Meir Ezra

“Motion creates energy.”
Meir Ezra

Rachel Hartman
“The road was possibility, the kind she'd thought her life would never hold again, and Tess herself was motion. Motion had no past, only future. Any direction you walked was forward, and that was as must be.”
Rachel Hartman, Tess of the Road

Will Advise
“The sea, to be happy, like hearts, must be stirred.”
Will Advise

Farshad Asl
“There is a big difference between motion and action. Just because you get out of bed doesn't mean you are making progress. Taking action requires decisiveness, dedication, and clear direction.”
Farshad Asl

Steven Millhauser
“He sank back into his black-and-white world, his immobile world of inanimate drawings that had been granted the secret of motion, his death-world with its hidden gift of life. But that life was a deeply ambiguous life, a conjurer's trick, a crafty illusion based on an accidental property of the retina, which retained an image for a fraction of a second after the image was no longer present. On this frail fact was erected the entire structure of the cinema, that colossal confidence game. The animated cartoon was a far more honest expression of the cinematic illusion than the so-called realistic film, because the cartoon reveled in its own illusory nature, exulted in the impossible--indeed it claimed the impossible as its own, exalted it as its own highest end, found in impossibility, in the negation of the actual, its profoundest reason for being. The animated cartoon was nothing but the poetry of the impossible--therein lay its exhilaration and its secret melancholy. For this willful violation of the actual, while it was an intoxicating release from the constriction of things, was at the same time nothing but a delusion, an attempt to outwit mortality. As such it was doomed to failure. And yet it was desperately important to smash through the constriction of the actual, to unhinge the universe and let the impossible stream in, because otherwise--well, otherwise the world was nothing but an editorial cartoon.”
Steven Millhauser, Little Kingdoms

William Faulkner
“People will pay any price for motion. They will even work for it. Look at bicycles.”
William Faulkner, The Reivers

Clarissa Pinkola Estés
“Stories set the inner life into motion, and this is particularly important where the inner life is frightened, wedged, or cornered. Story greases the hoists and pulleys, it causes adrenaline to surge, shows us the way out, down, or up, and for our trouble, cuts for us fine wide doors in previously blank walls, openings that lead to the dreamland, that lead to love and learning, that lead us back to our own real lives as knowing wildish women.”
Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves

“You are as powerful as you are willing to cause motion.”
Meir Ezra

Jessa Crispin
“If there ever were one moment where everything worked for us, where we lived in harmony and at ease with our natures, then we would still be there. There is no garden to return to, no idyllic perfect childhood, no enwombed state. The Garden of Eden was boring, childhood is a nightmare we should all be grateful to be done with, and your mother smoked while she was pregnant and poisoned you in the womb with artificial sugar substitutes. The best thing any of us can do is just to keep fucking up in a forward motion, and see what comes out of it.”
Jessa Crispin, The Dead Ladies Project: Exiles, Expats, and Ex-Countries

Carlos Wallace
“Whenever I am asked to tell my story, I hesitate. How can you sum up a life that is in constant motion?”
Carlos Wallace

“Don't worry about not doing "it" perfectly right now. It's ok, just keep at it, you will soon settle in it and then you'll be glad you didn't give up. All you need is to be sure that GOD's hand is in it.”
TemitOpe Ibrahim

Dada Bhagwan
“If you are in ‘motionâ€� than you are in a normal [moving] state, and if you are ‘emotionalâ€� than you are in an agitated state.”
Dada Bhagwan

“It’s not your thoughts but it’s your beliefs that create your reality. So by investing in yourself, you have set a very powerful framework in motion, by believing in yourself and creating your own reality”
Adimulam vijaya bhaskar rao , unlock the future potential in you

Will Walton
“Luca said one day, "I guess life doesn't level out the way you think it will, ever." Because the thing is, you always have a body. And with it, you have need, you have desire, and you have love, and it all changes.

As we live. Changes.
The matter we're made of, that connects us to the stars, in constant motion.”
Will Walton, I Felt a Funeral, In My Brain

Rachel Kushner
“We were in separate realities, fast and slow. There is no fixed reality, only objects in contrast.”
Rachel Kushner, The Flamethrowers

“The very act of seeking sets things in motion.”
Laurie Buchanan, PhD

Doris Lessing
“Here tail moved, in another dimension, as if its tip was catching messages her other organs could not. She sat poised, air-light, looking, hearing, feeling, smelling, breathing, with all of her, fur, whiskers, ears---everything, in delicate vibration.”
Doris Lessing, On Cats

“In our dynamic age, the speed of motion is increasing”
Sunday Adelaja

Donald Barthelme
“It's only when you stop to think about it. I don't stop. - From "Morning”
Donald Barthelme, Great Days

“Mathematics is unable to specify whether motion is continuous, for it deals merely with hypothetical relations and can make its variable continuous or discontinuous at will. The paradoxes of Zeno are consequences of the failure to appreciate this fact and of the resulting lack of a precise specification of the problem. The former is a matter of scientific description a posteriori, whereas the latter is a matter solely of mathematical definition a priori. The former may consequently suggest that motion be defined mathematically in terms of continuous variable, but cannot, because of the limitations of sensory perception, prove that it must be so defined.”
Carl B. Boyer, The History of the Calculus and Its Conceptual Development

Thomas Lloyd Qualls
“All of life is constantly in motion. Desire keeps us moving. Desire inspires us to be brave, to dream, to create. Desire is our divine connection with the creative force of the universe.”
Thomas Lloyd Qualls, Painted Oxen

Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“That statues are motionless would be true only if the earth were the universe.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“To mourn the unexpected death
Of a thousand fetuses,
I fire up the yellow dusk,
and watch the time standing motionless.”
Geeta Tripathee

Elaine Scarry
“...because material composition so unquestionably entails motion (making a sculpture or a shield or a painting requires motion just as much as walking or horseback riding or rising from one's chair does), we may be predisposed to discover it in mental composition as well.”
Elaine Scarry, Dreaming by the Book

Elaine Scarry
“We find ourselves contemplating at once the compositional surface on which motion occurs and the things that move on that compositional surface because imagining motion requires us to blur the distinction between figure and ground, as when passengers sitting in a stationary train feel themselves begin to fall through space when another train passes by.”
Elaine Scarry, Dreaming by the Book
